  The responses to this got me thinking:
http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=498526

Would committees be a good thing for BL?

NO, This is NOT a democratic site, all decisions made on this site are Admins
only.

Not true at all. Troy, the mods and the catmins - even you - make numerous decisions
every day without Admin's prior knowledge or approval.
  
  I suggest a committee of 3 people for Listing violations: Have the problem reports
sent to 3 members (maybe even conceal the store/user name) and let them vote.
2 votes and the listing gets removed.

I certainly don't want or need a 'committee' to tell me how what I can list or
not list, that's why we have 'rules'

Don't we have that already through the catmins and inventory admins such as yourself?
You guys - not Admin - decide what thousands of sellers can and cannot list here
simply by controlling the catalog and inventories. And what good are rules if
Admin is too busy doing other things to enforce them?

  
  
I'm sure we would be able to find members for a committee of 3 or maybe 5 very
quickly and that decisions on listings would be decided very quickly.

Yes, I'm sure your right, no doubt headed by you? Maybe a few more people who
'think' they should run Bricklink?

This is uncalled for. I don't hear any accusations that you or Troy or Rob or
any of the other mods, catmins and inventory admins "think" BL should be run
a certain way. Do you have a problem sharing some of your power?

  
  
Obviously Admin and/or the CO would be able to appoint/remove those committee
members and Admin and maybe the CO would also be able to overrule them.

Admin has the final word on ALL decisions, and that's the way I like it. I certainly
don't another seller who's on a committee telling me I've listed something incorrect,
and if I don't do something about it, your 'committee' will.

Whether you "want" it or not is irrelevant. If your listing violates the rules,
it should be removed. And, like it or not, there are already people - such as
yourself - who effectively tell all other sellers what they can and cannot list
here. Except the catmins and inventory admins do it proactively.
  
There's an old saying, if it's not broken, don't fix it.

There is also an even older saying that there is always room for improvement.
